Real Ambitions

Walk | Talk | Think Surprisingly content with himself, with what he had somehow decided he would do, the grey male reclined into a seated position there amid the grasses, staring out across the prairie thoughtfully and seeing not only what was right before his eyes but what could be there too. Wolves, all close knit and working together, lounging in the wide plain, racing each other, hunting the large game that surely would make their way through. It was going to be difficult - he had seen enough examples to know that it did not always work out the way the leader planned it to - but with so much at stake, and really nothing much to lose considering they had no pack, no stability to their lives as it was, why not? His ears turned when the yip sounded from the direction of the Gulley, and Rune's head followed just a moment after to glance at Alamea as she approached. She looked better than she had on the day they had arrived here, but rest would not have hurt. He knew as a mother her attention was being focused upon their children, in particular their sick daughter, and until she was better there would be little rest to be had. But the fact that she had managed to work up a smile for him, when so much surely weighed upon her mind, was more than enough for him. Not exactly one prone to smiles himself, Rune's gaze softened, the outer edges of his lips curving the smallest bit as he watched the woman walk up to him and press against his chest. Instinctively, he curved around her, hunching forward to rest his neck across the back of her own and tuck her close. His frosty blue eyes closed in a rare moment of indulgence, a liberty he did not seem to have enough of lately, and only when she began to lift her head to stare upward at him did he begin to draw back enough to do the same to her. "I did," he answered simply, biding his time a moment as he considered the best way to broach the subject. It was too bad he had not thought ahead like that before she had arrived. "I had a question for you." Perhaps not the best way to lead into it - and he doubted she would have guessed right on a first try what exactly he had been thinking. Deciding not to jump straight into it, wishing instead to gauge her own opinion about their current location and setup, he chose a different inquiry to pose. "Are you settling in well? Do you like it here?" |
